3:32Now PlayingOlympic athletes like Taro Daniel and Naomi Osaka are helping Japan embrace its biracial citizens in one of the world’s most racially homogeneous countries. One of several multicultural athletes representing Japan in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Taro Daniel tells Bloomberg's Kurumi Mori about the pros and cons of coming from a diverse background.
The 28-year-old tennis player was born in New York, grew up in Japan and trained professionally in Spain. He defeated Novak Djokovic at the Indian Wells Masters in 2018.
“Now that I look back, you know you've always kind of felt like you're not 100% from that place wherever you are," said Daniel.
Throughout his experiences, Daniel says addressing his race and identity by having open conversations has helped.
